    Does the shifter shake too? My flex disk was bad and would skake the car in first and second. It was because the shifter rod was hittling the flex disk. Get under the car real quick and take a look at it.

    center support will give you hell during heavy load, normal driving it wont cause any vibration (unless its completely shot of course)

    Vibration occurs at about 30-40mph at about 3500-4000rpm, that's the most noticable spot. Not as noticable if I skip 2nd, 1 to 3.

    The flex disc was changed with the flywheel/clutch job along with urathane tranny mounts. The center support bearing i didn't change and have no records on if it was ever changed by the p.o.

    I would say either flex disk or center support bearing. They are picky about what gear you are in for some reason. Have you ever replaced them?

    Vibration while in 2nd gear ?

    Hoping that someone here would point me in the right direction. I noticed that under wot acceleration through the gears, car vibrates more in 2nd gear than in any other gear. I can accelerate through the 1st to redline fine, go to 2nd and in the second half of the rpm range to the redline car vibrates. If I let off the gas it's fine, if I take it to redline and then shift into 3rd it goes away.

    I thought it might be something with the rear end but it doesn't make sense for it to do that only in 2nd, and not in every gear.

    Ideas ?

    (just got an idea to try going 1st to 3rd and see if it vibrates the same at the specific mph range, while going through 3rd gear instead of 2nd. I just had wheels/tires mounted and maybe it has something to do with that )
Working...
